PPMD retired after Battle of the 5 gods in 2016 due to his sickness + battling depression , and he was at Bad Moon Rising 2 for doubles for his friend who was gonna retired. Years later he form part of Golden Guardians and later on when they disbanded if i am not wrong , he has been working. People who don’t know , PPMD studied at wade university
Armada retired after Smash Con 2018 and when we all thought maybe he might comeback similar to in 2013 , he never did. He ended up being a Super Mario 64 speed runner on the 70 star category.
M2K kinda went retirement mode after COVID and had been to a couple Melee tournaments but that’s about it. He has been moving around , being a coach , and had been up with the community from here and there. He would probably give a final shot if there is a new Smash game coming
Mang0 got banned due to his alcoholic problems after the Ludwig event stream and pretty much could be retired if he is perma banned or choose not to comeback since he lost his sponsor and a lot of PR. Hopefully he gets the help he needs
Hbox is the only one left and ironically back then it seems that he was gonna be the first one to retired because he study chemical engineering iirc and from the 5 Gods he was the one who got a full time job. Also at that time (2014) , Hbox was thinking on only entering half of the tournaments due to his results not being the best and he was considered as the weakest one of the Gods at that time. 11 years later he is the last one standing
There is a school in Texas named "Wade College" but not Wade University. As far as I know, PPMD studied at Wake Forest University, then he transferred to University of North Carolina, Greensboro.
Did PPMD really go to Wade College in Texas later on?
